The Volvo V90 is being fitted out for the Swedish police thanks to its specifications, and it looks spectacular like this

The Swedish police already have some Volvo models, but now they are joining the force’s fleet after going through exclusive controls and tests to demonstrate that they can carry out this tough job efficiently, especially on Swedish roads

Police forces around the world have a good number of cars at their disposal to fight crime. The latest addition to the Swedish police is, of course, a Volvo model that has managed to pass all the tests the police specialists have put it through. And it seems it has not only done so, but can be said to be the best one ever in the history of the force.

In Sweden, unlike in other countries, police cars are considered a workplace, so they must meet a series of essential characteristics that make them extremely safe and comfortable for the officer. These vehicles must meet certain requirements for performance, ergonomics, comfort, quality and other parameters that they must exceed.

In addition, five very specific tests are carried out that measure the car’s capabilities in terms of brakes, an obstacle course, evasive manoeuvre tests with and without braking, and high-speed emergency driving. The result obtained by this model across all the tests is 9.2 points out of 10, which gives us a good idea of what to expect from the Volvo V90.

Volvo supplies several car models for use by emergency services in various countriesThe car has proved to be a good choice and has impressed in tests such as high-speed emergency driving, with rapid lane changes and a very high demand for manoeuvrability. In fact, the report considers that the Volvo V90 makes this “almost disappointingly easy, because the car does what it is asked and shrugs off lateral forces without even protesting”.

Converting the Volvo V90 into an emergency car takes a week of work, under the expert hands of the Special Vehicles department at Volvo Cars. The chassis has been modified to make it more robust and more dynamic, the brakes have been improved so they can deliver the performance needed for the job, and it is much more attractive. In addition, at the Torsland plant, Volvo equips its cars with everything needed to provide good service.

The brand supplies its models to several police forces around the world, especially in the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway and the Netherlands, among others. It also hopes that other countries will become interested in buying this model, which, as you can see in the video, behaves like a great police car.
